Well I still don't really know a lot about the format, but maybe I can offer a decent suggestions or two.

From what I've heard, Anger of the Gods is starting to get some consideration in addition to Pyroclasm , so that's another possibility. Surgical Extraction is a SB possibility. I like the Electrolyze you mentioned, looks like a great card. Additionally, is Cyclonic Rift playable here? With the amount of mana Tron can produce, it might work.

Like in the initial article, I'm interested in playing the format but lack the knowledge to really do so. The deck I will submit is a RBW Midrange Token deck. The meta that I would most likely play it in would be FNM level. Until I know enough about the format to start investing in cards, assume I have no budget and just fire away card suggestions.

Interesting, i approve. Most of all, i liked how you choose a decklist that isn't a top tier, a homebrew. Just out of interest, why did you choose Pyroclasm . With Wild Nacatl being a thing in modern, have a sweeper that deals three damage is really helpful. Do you think that 4 jhoira is a bit too much? She is legendary and you only need 1 on the battlefield to be effective.
The deck that i would like to submit:

Thanks for writing this up!

@thePESSIMIST, one problem with Cyclonic Rift is that you still have to cast the overload cost after being suspended. Also, for the sideboard, i would consider putting in Spell Pierce /Dismember for added control!

I'd suggest Fury Charm as a rival to Jhoira's Timebug ~ It's a guaranteed "two activations" without the risk of being removed, has combat trick application, and incidentally hurts a few of the more common Modern decks out there.

As for sideboard, I'd recommend some basic graveyard hate (I prefer Relic of Progenitus , since it can draw) and the Engineered Explosives recommended in Other Considerations (two cmc really is the magic number from what I've seen).

Lastly, a submission:

So unfortunately, I don't have much to add to discussion in the way of advice, because I am very new to Magic in general and I don't know much about the Modern metagame; however, if you would take a look at my deck and give me advice on it, I would be forever grateful.

I don't understand Repeal over Boomerang or even Vapor Snag .

My deck for consideration:

@ th5ervant

Repeal is what is known as a cantrip. Because it lets you draw a card it maintains your card advantage, while outting your opponent at a disadvantage.

Furthermore, for me to consider your deck I will need an idea of budget and metagame. At the very least, I need some idea of a budget.

CanadianSamurai- For budget, $20 per card is my upper limit, so no Jace, the Mind Sculptor or Wrath of God . For meta, I recently moved to a new area and haven't played it here yet, so I'm not sure of what the meta is.

I have a moderately tight budget, but I will submit my deck anyways.

It revolves around keeping the game in your favor through early land destruction. It often keeps the opponent at low land, but has a few troubles in the later game.

Cyclonic Rift in a blue Tron deck, hardcast, would be amazing.

Hurkyl's Recall in the sideboard for Affinity.

Very fun looking deck! It may take people by surprise... Well written article, I might add.

I have a Gruul Aggro deck that's fun, consistent, and fairly competitive:

I like the suggestions, and I think that Anger of the Gods is a better choice now a days over Pyroclasm for the extra one damage and exile.

There's my deck, I hope to see it chosen most help is needed in the sideboard.

I like the idea behind this article, "feature" a deck and offer up opinions on how to improve it. Should be fun to see what all comes in the future.

the5ervant Just so you know, if you select the right version of Wrath of God you can get them for about $5-$7.

Actually, you can get the fourth edition Wrath of God for closer to $4.

I suppose I'll throw my hat into the ring here with this:

I have a meta chock full of burn, pod, and Maverick. I guess I need a SB, so help there would be appreciated but just the concept and other cards I might have forgotten could be worked with as well. It's meant to be a Control/Aggro fusion. Using creatures that like to die or ETB in conjunction with Athreos, God of Passage to get them back for more value.

Yea, miracleHat, the commander version is 3.99. I made my comment before looking, looks like price has dropped.

Grafdigger's Cage is pretty standard against Living End. Engineered Explosives or Ratchet Bomb would be good against Affinity, or even Chalice of the Void . I like Shattering Spree or Smelt as more options to deal with Affinity or Pod. Unsummon or Aura Graft would be good for Twin.

• My budget: unlimited.

• The deck is being built for regular Modern weekly tournaments at my town, but I would really (if possible) like it to be best tuned to be competitive at Modern PQT's and the like. Not for casual play.

Pithing Needle is always a good standby against Pod or Twin decks. I agree that a copy or two of Relic of Progenitus would help as GureiSeion suggested. I haven't played much against storm decks but would Counterflux be helpful in any regard against them or do they almost never have more than one spell on the stack at a time? I'm still relatively new to the modern scene as there isn't much in the way of tournaments for the format in my area. At any rate, those are my sideboard suggestions such as they are.

If you have the time, I would appreciate any comments that could be made on my pet Modern deck. It's based somewhat on Maverick though there are quite a few things I can do to improve it. On the whole, I can't really spend much more than 40 or 50 dollars on a single card but I will do what I can. I tend to see a lot of Twin and Pod decks in the local meta when there is a tourney and Zoo has been more common as of late as well. This thing tends to get stomped so it's apparent that I have a lot of work to do.

My budget: Kinda-sorta tight, though I wouldn't mind going a bit above the $60 max budget I have set for it.

The meta: Mono-red sligh insanity. Throw out small creatures really fast and punch your opponent in the face really hard before they can twitch. It manipulates hasty creatures like Ball Lightning in order to deliver huge damage while powering through anything that tries to block it.

@ JimothyCrikkett by "meta" I mean metagame, as in what you will be playing against.

Oooohhh. My bad.

In that case, I'll rephrase:

Meta: My local meta (which really is more situated at my local high school as my local LGS went out of business some time ago) pits me up against some rather mean decks, such as Goblin Tribal, Grixis Control, and even some cloudburst decks.

I am looking to improve my token deck drastically! I want to keep it a modern deck, but i want to get the best possible token deck. My budget is anywhere from $25-$150 (the less the better). I really appreciate any advice you could give me!
